i'm depressed....

Losing a pet is always tough, but it does get better! Just take your time grieving and think about all the good memories

I was depressed too and once, I even was ready to jump. But I didn't. I contacted a psychiatrist and it really helped. Maybe try it yourself, or talk to your friends. It really helps.
I hope you will get better.

Did you get a chance to say goodbye? When my parents put my childhood dog down without telling me until after, I was so mad and upset. I only lived an hour away and I could have easily travelled to see him before he went.

It sounds like you care a lot about that cat of yours.

I had a dog that was put down too, but I fucking hated him and he hated me so I can’t really relate. He would always bite me and shit in my room, even though he never bit anyone else.

Yet, even though I never really liked that dog I can’t help but think about him ever so often. All the time that my parents were able to play with him but I wasn’t, and how I never really took the time to walk or pet him.

Even so I was never that close to him. If I actually was attached to that dog and spent a lot of time with him, I might be able to imagine how you must feel right now.

Don’t really have any advice or anything, I’m just saying that I know how much a pet can mean to someone. Even if I never experienced that sort of bond first-hand.
Good luck with everything I guess.

I Hope that you feel better soon, because even though there are though times, there are good times as well.

When my dog died a very dear friend of mine showed me this poem. It helped me feel just a small bit better and I hope it helps you a little bit as well. RIP Twitch Link it sound like you were loved very very much.


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm depressed too. I walked into a store the other day and a workers came up to me and asked "Can I help you find anything?", I responded with "A reason to live".

Life sucks. I can't wait to wake up from this nightmare.

@Quantumcat no but when my mom called me but didn't tell me i sortta knew she wanted to break the news in person but i was at anime club that night (saturday) my dad told me when he picked me up to see a movie later that day (yesterday)

thanks guys for the support, i have my own cat who i hope lives the same age as twitch did so i'll hopefully have years with Gio I know he'll help me heal

@DeadlyFoez
You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

No but seriously get help, go to a psychiatrist.

It always hurts to lose a pet, it hurts a lot, I've lost pets before, take as much time as you need..

maybe i sound so insensitive but, IT'S time to get a new cat and you will forget the old one.

@leon315 that's like saying "your mom died get a new one"

It's insensitive and has nothing to do with the pain he feels now, nor will it help him forget his old cat.

I always got very upset when people would suggest this when a pet died.

@x65943 wowowowow calm down young lad!

nothing will replace mom, and everyone has only one mom, i wouldn't cry for a cat, but u should indeed cry for ur mom's death. cat is just a cat.

And that's the difference

You can't understand because you are incapable of loving an animal

Accept that you have different capacities for love and be respectful of his loss

to be clear, i had one cat, two dogs. they were all dead.

Hope you feel better soon, even though it hurts Im sure your life was better for having him (*or her) around, as they say its better to have loved and lost than never having loved at all. I have a 13y old Shih Tzu and he just recently got diabetes and went blind. It breaks my heart to see him like that , lost and scared. I used to go for long walks with him every night and now Im lucky if he walks a block with me. I know his time is probably coming soon so I can relate.

I had also 2 turtles, the sweet water ones, they could live up to 100 years, but i realized that i shouldn't keep them in my small aquarium then i released them in my village's dam, i have a lot of feelings for my pets, cauz they lived a sweet life in a sweet home with my grand parents' shelter and blessings. people shouldn't feel bad when u lose ur 4 paws companions cauz NOW they are in a better place!

right at moment i don't have any animals at home, might get a KITTY too!
